The weather in Philadelphia has been beautiful all weekend. Sunshine and cool breezes have graced Citizens Bank Park, where the Phillies are enjoying a lengthy homestand.

The weekend, at least for the Phils, ended on a note congruent with the weather. Behind Cole Hamels, Darin Ruf and B.J. Rosenberg, Ryne Sandberg's club finished a series sweep of the Atlanta Braves (85-57), who are sure to win the National League East and own baseball's second-best record.
